This is something I've thought about too. I know they make a version of A People's History called "A Young People's History of the United States" but like you mention, I think this book is for older kids. There is also "Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States: A Graphic Interpretation", which is a graphic interpretation (like graphic novel) of An Indigenous Peope's History of the United States by the same author. I'm not sure what else is out there.

✏ Rules
- DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
- No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

not technically US history, but better and more factual than a lot of pre-colonial american history put out by the settlers https://www.zinnedproject.org/materials/before-columbus
you might find some other solid books at this site too.
awesome resource, thanks!
You know, looking at that link, it eventually took me to here: https://socialjusticebooks.org/
They have elementary books for people like Malcom X.
